Negative TWO MEN AND A TRUCK Reviews
Yelp
The crew was polite but lacked blankets and straps. They left gouges in our TV cabinet and a 12-inch scrape in my teak desktop. A $100 claim payment was far below replacement cost.
Aidan Welch, Google
The movers themselves were fantastic, but a $680 quote became $1,200 after loading. Misquoting customers by $500+ is ridiculous and bad business.
Yelp
We were quoted an 8:30–9:30 arrival, but the movers came just before noon. A scheduling error left one truck unavailable until after 4:30, disrupting our closing and move.
Neutral TWO MEN AND A TRUCK Reviews
Yelp
A good experience with Two Men and a Truck for my across-town move. The movers were on time and nice, but one complained about stairs and played on his phone.
Yelp
They showed up on time, didn't lose anything, and didn't obviously damage anything. But they were ridiculously slow, and better options seemed available.
S Bettis, Google
Jacob and Julius were awesome movers. We were caught very off guard by the cost: we expected about $600, paid $1,000, and will receive a $175 refund.
